someone is going to nerdsnipe me so i will add that technically its 15 registered ports per USB controller, so you can add a dongle with another USB controller and have more than 15. a mobo usually only has 1 USB controller for way more than 15 USB ports though, Apple added this arbitrary restriction for no reason since none of their devices have that many ports. so a typical PC motherboard just straight up destabilizes the system lmfao

Thank god this isn't a problem here

Lemmy users generally subscribe to the philosophy of "if everyone just thought exactly like me then the world would be utopia"

The actual solution is to pirate Windows 10 LTSC IOT from 1337x.to (microsoft's debloated version of W10 for sysadmins, it tends to get leaked) for a usable everyday system. The only Linux setups that are possible to daily drive (aren't unstable) are Linux Mint and an Arch setup with Hyprland if you know what you're doing - anything else has serious issues in my experience. Even if you got Adobe and Office apps running (which is possible in some cases), both the most used desktop environments on Linux (GNOME and KDE) are incredibly buggy messes. Literally half of all 'distros' are just trying to make sure those two desktop envs aren't launching nuclear bombs on your machine

This is definitely true, trust me

Untrap for Youtube

The same dev also makes an extension that lets you block individual elements for facebook, instagram, leddit, etc. Useful to break a habit

one physical USB-A socket on the machine can read as two USB ports virtually due to that physical socket supporting USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 at the same time, I believe its a backwards compat thing. I think there might also be internal (virtual) USB ports as well but don't quote me on that. On mobos with 8+ physical USB A sockets it can easily get past the 16 limit unless you specifically disable the USB 2.0 port, which then might break older devices relying on that and it becomes a whole headache. this person explains it better than I can

These kinds of posts are designed to provoke anxiety and waste thousands of people's time, ironically contributing to energy wastage. I don't see how you can engage with posts like these and think you hate capitalism, you're worshipping the act of consuming negativity and giving someone money from your doomerism lol. It's almost like forum autists cannot into self awareness or something

holy kernel

not templeos

worshipping false idols now, are we?

I wish the protocol used by Hotline Client took off, it was basically Discord in the 90s with its support for announcement/news posts and file sharing

Hmmm you make a good point

Still not convinced the Reddit front page isn't artificially burying Israeli-Palestine content though

quit being disingenuous. of course that beef is nuts but lemmy's front page barely has anything on that whole fiasco, do you know why? because lemmy's front page is actually organic

and nearly every client has something that's half baked, and it's funded by a shady UK nonprofit with links to israeli intelligence, and...

I always see takes like this when people discuss alternative platforms. This is almost never the actual reason why people don't switch. The real reason is that most modern internet users are incredibly afraid of using a web browser - anything that isn't an official app is sketchy to them.

They have been entirely socially conditioned to think that looking for "alternative to x" or "free version of x" will give them an adware extension. Google knowingly promotes adware sites to any 8 year old who wants to get Minecraft for free, so they learn young that you can never trust alternative online services for anything. If a person makes it to 10 and is unable to find emuparadise, they will be afraid of any online 'alternative' for the rest of their lives.

I will be very surprised if an actual woman posted this

I dislike communism but most communists actually obsess over things that matter due to having terminally Kantian thought processes. I'd rather post in an environment like that than one filled with barely sentient slop consumers who just believe things
